Knecht better 💛💜💛💜

In fairness to Risacher being "not a great athlete, but athletic", " not really a creator", and not an incredible defensive player ... All of that describes Jayson Tatum as a prospect. Tatum's selling point was basically isolation scoring and now he's primarily a straight line drive and step back guy. Tatum is really the blueprint for both Risacher and Salaun that if you have a big wing who can shoot, you can build out the rest of his game because that combination of size, fluid athleticism and touch is really easy to build around But every guy in the top 13 is kind of boom or bust except Clingan

Wouldn't be surprised if Presti is going the route of a MLB system with a new CBA. Draft for upside & give a few years to develop and reach their potential, hopefully. Would makes sense given how stingy he seems to be when giving up picks & the small market they are in. Considering he wanted a future backup PG - or perhaps a different starting option next to Shai - I like the choices, even if they don't pan out.

Where is the Lakers pick?

NBA is so tough since only 8-9 guys really matter. In order from memory: Tatum (Brown), Jokic, Steph, Giannis, Lebron, Kawhi, Steph / KD, Lebron, Steph, Duncan, Lebron and Co, Dirk, Kobe, Duncan, Pierce / Garnett, Duncan, Wade / Shaq, Duncan, "Pistons"... Really need at least 1 superstar and generally 2. All these role player type guys are nice, but none of them are going to lead a team to a title.

Imo the Lakers got great value w/ DK @#17 - Austin Reaves @ worst , klay Thompson @ if reaches his potential & Luka if he maxes out & goes above & beyond - sec was a tough defensive conference & he shredded everyone , my hope would be for him to go HAM & lakers could get a kings ransom trading AR B4 trade deadline - imo ar & DK on floor would be too much a defensive liability - I guess I'm in the minority I think gm RP is a good GM & last season when healthy on paper Lakers had a top 5 roster 1-10 , DK is older & can play immediately & can def strike the 3 & imo coach JJ can run plays for him like what were run for him , ray Allen & klay/Steph - he also has an above avg mid range game, alot of critics on Lakers chat that say he needs to play better D , better hops & stronger muscular physique, BUT if he had all those things he would be a top five if number one pick so lakers wouldn't have had the opportunity to draft him at #17
